Thanks for helping
If you have photoshop, here's an easy way of achieveing the same kind of look you can easily do at home.
Find an old (preferably) brown paper shopping bag and photograph the surface of it with wrinkles and creases. (Make sure it is well lit) Then open the shot in Photoshop, resize and convert it to Black and White using the Desaturate option. Open your Landscape image, create a new Layer and then use this Paper Bag image as your overlay for your landscape image and set the Opacity to your preference, I use around 40%. You can use sepia toning for your landscape shot before doing the overlay. Merge the Layers. Next, you'll need to to Burn or Darken the edges of the photo by selecting the Burn tool and using a soft brush paint around the perimeter of the photo (Try to be consistent). And that's it! Good luck with it, I hope it works for you! :-)
